Firstly; Congratulations to the Young Tigers for the victory against the Garudas on the SEA Games Final at Gelora Bung Karno last night! Although it's a penalty shootout,however,We've won 5-4; despite the huge number of Indonesian supporters at the stadium.
However,things went ugly for both side,as before the game the Malaysian team were forced to enter the stadium using the Barracuda APC,Torching of the Ticket Counters by angry Indonesian Fans and death of 2 Indonesian fans due to the stampede as they attempted to enter the stadium,
Despite their roar and insults,however,they began to silent as when they failed to score the penalty goal on their 4th attempt,thus sealing their second defeat to the Tigers (the first was during the Semi Finals,also at the same place).
Our victory has make us successfully defending the Gold medal we've won at 2009 SEA Games in Laos; And will we be able to win the gold medal for the 3rd time again at Naypyidaw,Myanmar 2013? Only time will tell!
And here's the winners of the Football event in 2011 SEA Games,Jakarta-Palembang:
Gold Medal: Malaysia
Silver Medal: Indonesia
Bronze Medal: Myanmar (They've beaten Vietnam on the 3rd Place run-off)
With the game ends today (22/11/2013); It will be remembered as the games with lots of controversies; such as during the Pencak Silat final between Indonesia and Thailand,where the Indonesian contestant bites his Thai competitor,and the unfair decision by the Singaporean referee.The incident has caused series of criticism by Singapore,Thailand and Vietnam.
Terima Kasih Jakarta-Palembang,and now We will see you in Naypyidaw,Myanmar 2013!
